When you’re polishing your Spanish and refining it, you need to pay special attention to the little things such as prepositions which follow certain verbs. Here are examples of some of the most high frequency ones. When you are trying to imprint something in your linguistic brain, read the example given here. Then make up your own sentence using the same verb, but this time stating something which you frequently say. Get those patterns stuck in your head, but make them your own patterns!

Make a game of seeing how often you can speak them or think them in a day. When you’re learning a language you are laying tracks in your brain on which your Spanish cars can run, but you must keep those tracks well oiled by frequent repetitions.

tratar de = to try in the sense of to make an effort (probar – to try out, on) Voy a tratar de hacerlo bien. Ellos van a tratar de no gastar mucho dinero en Acapulco. Mi hijo está tratando de leer.

empezar (ie) a = to start In a phrase such as ¿A qué hora empieza la fiesta? The beginning A is the at in at what time, but when you have something following this verb, note: Mi amiga empezó a estudiar el español la semana pasada.
